I went to an auto store today and saw this product called "elf Power Up"

When I got home, I did a little research and also found a product called "elf Formula Tune:

http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/...235/parts.aspx

When used on a skyline GTR's engine, the "power up" would increase the max hp by about 30hp, while the "formula tune" would increase by 34hp (actually ps for both).

The question is, do these products really work? I mean elf seems to be a well-respected company, and the price for the product is around $12 CAD.

Thanks for any input!

 

that seems wayyy to good to be true. what does it even do

 

Just do the Seafoam engine cleaning at home and get proven results

 

Yea, that's exactly what I want to know, but that page is in Japanese. The question is, I can see how just cleaning the injectors and other things can restore "lost" hp and torque, but to increase power? How?

Anyways, the best translation I could find is from altavista's babelfish translation system, which I didn't really understand....

Here's the description translated from Japanese for the "power up":

"With Don Quixote it had buying those of the ﾂ･980 with two these sets.
As for effect? ? However was.

Usual gasoline to racing gasoline level efficiency rise
With complete combustion and high efficiency, improvement of power and acceleration efficiency same bodily sensation
With the scavenging effect, the soiling of fuel line securely removal!
It prevents power loss with the drip hole coming effect, prevents rust fuel line.
- Usual gasoline efficiency is raised to racing gasoline level, combustion efficiency improves substantially.
- It can improve power and acceleration efficiency with complete combustion and high efficiency, same bodily sensation. Bodily sensation it is possible even with the new model car where change is difficult to know.
- The soiling of the carbon & the sludge and fuel line inside the engine is removed securely with the scavenging effect.
- It prevents power loss with the drip hole coming effect, prevents rust fuel line.

With is.

The 34.9psUP 縺｣ 縺ｦ it is written with RB26DETT.
When just 繧ｳ繝ｬ rises with 繧ｷ繝薙ャ繧ｯ, it may become very thing, is."

Could someone do a better translation please?

 

Sounds like a big octane booster

 

wont do any thing for a na car with no tuneabaility.
